    I recently took delivery of Tom’s HMS Enterprize kit. Wow! I saw the built up version at his home in Shanghai and was smitten. Tom regularly upgrades the kits as he figures out a better way or gets customer feedback. He tries to replicate the look and materials of the Admiralry models, even producing some of the carvings in bone. Quite an amazing product. Good quality wood, cast brass cannon, wooden carvings, etched brass, the list goes on. The kit came in seven boxes and weighed several kilo. I hope the arrangement with ANCRE gets done soon. I once tried to build Le Salamandre from the plans. I got a long way on it and just ran out personal steam. I’ve seen his kit and can say it will be a lot easier to realize a ship in frame and far more precisely than I could ever do. This model has been upgraded too, he changed how the cant frames are cut and assembled to make them easier to build and replicate actual construction. The method of building the cutter is also improved with a resin cast jig to lat frames and planks. Welcome Tom, and thank you Chuck! cheers, Kerry Vancouver, Canada

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
